OE-Hand AvOWaIs.

A young man at a church bazar was
button-holed by lady; she would not
let him 60 until he bought something.
He looked at her stall, which contained
fancy work of various kinds. why
he said, Il see nothing here that would
be of the least use to me, bachelor,
except yourself. The rest would be
dear to me at any price 4 will be
cheap enough she said, coaxingly. IF
you could be dear enough, perhaps
ooh, come! you are just the person
I want taking him by the arm. She
sold him one article after another, keep
ing up an agreeable conversation the
while, and before all was done he had
purchased everything on the STALL
Then, at settling up, there was some
thing said about discount. 4 cannot
return any money she said, blushing,
'but if you think me dear enough there's
mamma; she may give you my hand.
The bargain was accordingly concluded
An eminent doctor, who had saved
the life of lady, personal friend,
was asked his charge. He said he gen.
orally allowed his patient friends to re-
munerate him as they thought be6sting.
But don't you often get disappointed
on these terms p she inquired. Il may
say never 'As you are so easily pleas
ed, here and she playfully gave him
her empty hand, while in the other
was concealed a check for hand
some sum. 'How easily I could have
taken you in = she added, producing
the check. But you have only succeed
ed in drawing me OUT he said, declin-
ing to relinquish her hand don't in
suit me with check; I am most gen.
erously rewarded Perhaps she under.
stood the doctors difficulty and wished
to help him out of it; at any rate the
giving of her hand led him to offer his
heart.
A lady with fine figure having TAX
en- fancy to a valuable ring which she
saw ticketed in a show window went
inside to examine it. 1T is exceeding
ly lovely 1 wish it were mine,' she
said, on satisfying herself; what
smaller figure could tempt you?' mo
other figure than the figure before me-,
he said, giving her an admiring look
at the same time; 'it is exceedingly
lovely. 1 wish-I could tempt you
with the ring 4 think I'll take it,
she said, laying down the money amid
bushes. Of course he accepted the
money; but, getting her address, he
made such good use ofthe hint that the
next ring that she got was given by him
in church.
A lady in a railway train kept look
ing out of the window, with her head
forward, until she remembered that the
gentleman opposite might possibly OBJ
ject. do l cut off the view ? she ask
ed. Merely of all 1 do not wish to
see?' he replied, gallantly. The ice
having been thus broken, they entered
into conversation, found they were to
get out at the same station, and knew
each others friends. The rest was
plain sailing into what somebody calls
the matrimonial haven.
'Are you married yet, Kittya' said
sailor, on meeting an old acquaintance
after returning from long voyage
mo, that somebody has never come
'Ah, then, I have brought him, after a
deal of bother he said, throwing his
arms around her, and the matter was
then settled.

Stingy Husbands.
Women Should be Given a Share in the
Family Purse.


Among the poor, particularly the
thrifty and industrious poor, says
writer in Ha,pe,'s Basar, the woman
of the household, be she wife or daugh-
ter, has much more control in dispen-
sing the daily or weekly wage, than
women on higher social plane; men
of Drawn, when sensible and kindly,
practise amore generous rule of conjugal
partnership than is usual among men of
brain, though these latter's earnings are
on such a scale of plenty, that unless
welook below the the surface regulations
and equipments of home, we fail to dis
cover the false financial relations that
exist between husband and wife. For
wives, as a class, have no spending
money, and are rarely cognizant of
their husbands true business condition.
Is this just to the being man has prom
ised to honor as we'll as to lover
Women are accused of being 'mean,'
and any who has ever served on collect
ing committee knows how, in forming
list of possible subscribers, name after
name is omitted with the remark, mo
use going to her she never gives or
'She has no money! and yet the hus-
band of she is invariably man of
means or ample professional income,
who pays extravagant household and
personal bills for his family, usually
with willing good-nature. 1t is only
when money is asked for, that a tight
ening of the purse-strings instinctively
takes place, and the unblushing query
is made: 'Why, little woman, what
did you do with the S. I gave you last
week?' We have heard such question
put to beloved wife by man whose
yearly expenses were at least $4,000,
and who the next week gave the same
wife valuable diamond earrings, and
always encouraged her to dress extrava-
gantly and live luxuriously.
Few men can understand how hard 1t
is for sensitive, high-spirited woman
to ask for money, even from her own
husband, although such a custom as
putting the empty household purse on
the hall table with his hat should help
to open the vision of dull marital eyes,
and make him suspect that possibly
there are other needs besides supplying
his and his children's material wants
for which good wife may crave an in
dependent purse, and that as he-yet
with no desire to hide his expenditure
does not feel it his duty to bring home
his cigar and lunch bills, so she might
like to have a pocket regularly filled,
into which, uncriticised, she might dip
for the extra present, or book, or philan-
fhronic efad

The next day we visited twelve

Mr.. Bowser an old fool, and four others

refused to have anything to do with

Housekeeping.
Eliza r. Parker, in Our Country Home.

Eliza r. Parker, in Our Country Home.
Whatever may be the opinion of
many of the shallow-minded votaries
of fashion as to the contrary, house.
keeping is an accomplishment in COM
parison to which, in its bearing on
woman's relation to the family, all
others are trivial. Hence to be good
housekeeper should be the ambition of
every wife and mother, as the prosper
ity and happiness of the family depend
greatly on the order and regularity es-
tablished within the household.
There is no luck in housekeeping,
however it may seem. Everything
should work by exact rule, and, even
with the observance ofsuch, eternal vig-
lance is the price of success. Manage
ment and perfect system are the found
dation of perfect housekeeping, and are
arts that can be acquired by any wo-
man of good sense and an ordinary de-
gree of industry.
The husband whose home is always
neat and comfortable, and who can in
vite his friends to partake of meal in
his house in the full confidence of find
ing everything in order, will feel pride
and exultation in the possession of
wife who gives his home a charm be-
yond all else. The sons bred in such
family will prove to be moral men of
steady, industrious habits; and the
daughters will indeed be treasures to
their husbands and friends, being form
ed on the model of an exemplary moth
er, and will use the same means for
securing the happiness and prosperity
of their own young families which were
so successfully taught under the pater-
nal roof.
The mistress of every family should
be capable of taking full superintend-
ence of all household matters, and
should feel pleasure in the duties per-
tanning to them. Work well done is
robbed of its curse. There is no dig
nifty in slighted work but to the artist,
no matter how humble the calling, be-
longs the honor which is inseparable
from all struggles after perfection,'
says a noted writer of the present day.
Every department ofthe housekeeper's
domain, be it large or small, should be
arranged with such system that perfect
order will always prevail.
| Many rules, and all of them excellent,
are laid down for the instruction of the
young housekeepers in the happy home
making. But after thoughtful review
they may all be summed up in the SIM
pie plan of systematic labor, scrupulous
neatness, promptness and economy
There rules, if strictly adhered to and
guided by love, cannot fail to make OF
every wife and mother thoughtful and
energetic housekeeper.

Mark Twain ON Farming.

Here, remarked the famous humorist,
Mark Twain, in a recent address, is
composition 1 wrote on farming when
boy: Farming is healthy work but
no man can run a farm and wear his
best clothes at the same time. Either
the farming must cease while the new
clothes continue, or the new clothes
cease while the farming continues
This shows that farming is not so clean
work as being Congressman or school
master, for these men can wear good
clothes if they can find money to pay
for them. Oaughter). Farmers get
up early in the morning. They say the
early bird catches the worm. If I was
a bird, 1 had rather get up late and eat
cherries in place of worms. (Laughter).
Farmers don't paint their wagons when
they can help it, for they show mud
too quick. The color of their boots is
red, and don't look like other peoples
boots, because they are twice as big
(Applause). Farmers wives have a
hard time cooking for hired men, and
the hired men find fault with the farm
ers wives cooking. Why don't farm
ers' wives let the hired men do the
cooking while they do the finding fault.
(Great applause). Farmers don't get
as rich as bank presidents, but they get
more exercise. prolonged laughter).
Some ask, 'Why don't farmers run for
Congress 2 They run so much keeping
boys out of their peach orchards and
melons patches they don't have any
time to run after anything else. If
Congress should run after farmers one
might be caught now and then. Law
yers can beat farmers at running for
most anything. 1 know farmer who
tried to run line fence according to
his notion. The other man objected,
and hurt the farmer. The farmer hired
lawyer to run his line fence, and now
the lawyer runs the farmers farm, and
the famer has stopped running anything.
Speaking of running reminds me of our
calf that ran away to the woods. There
were not enough men in the country to
catch that calf. We turned the old
cow loose into the woods, and she
caught the calf, proving the old saying,
that it takes cow to catch thief

Married.

Married? Well, yes; I suppose that I am
There's man here who calls me his wife;
But why he should wish me to live here with him

True, we had grand wedding, and this was the
bond
For richer or poorer, for better or worse.
The better just lasted the honeymoon through,
But never got sight of the purse.

am known by his name through the towns
But the very word milliner gives him the blues,
And he scowls if want new gown.
lie admires other ladies, so airy and fine,
And their laces and furbelow collars,
And wishes his wife had a little more style;
So do but can't get the dollars.
From morning till evening roast, bake or boil,
Till my face like parchment is dried;
And my hands are as red as the reddest of beets
From the moulding of bread, cake and pie.
Then my lord hurries in with frown on his face,
While his buttonhole blooms with rose;
And boiling his dinner with scarcely word,
Away to his club meeting goes.
Or perchance he brings with him some dear friend
to dine,

Or who the next Governor will be.
hate to play dummy while these wise men
As gourmands taking their ease;
But if dare speak he will say "woman's rights,
Or "My love- the dessert, if you please"
And so am married; yet am no wife
If I render the sweet word Alright;
Marriage means more than shelter, raiment and
food,
Or checks that are honored at sight.
1t means the communion of true welded souls,
Where two hearts beat only as one,
And home whose foundation, upbuilded on love-
Is heaven in this world begun.
